Specific ongoing research projects include the following

Developing active neutron-based interrogation system to screen sea-going cargo containers for fissionable material.

Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) – a planned large-scale bolometric detector designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te.

Measurements of neutron and charged-particle induced reaction cross sections for homeland security, nuclear astrophysics, and neutrino physics.
